American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Brownsville face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Programs providing addiction treatment services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
